ABSTRACT
Book and magazine publishing continues to flourish, despite dire predictions that the internet would kill them both. This chapter looks at a range of magazine styles, from glamor to weekly news periodicals. It explores not just how to choose appropriate typefaces, but how to choose and place cover photographs – and when to change the headlines to fit the picture. The 1950s was the decade that saw a huge explosion in popular comics. Building on the success of Spider-man, Superman, Batman and the rest, comic book artists turned their attention towards a more compelling genre altogether - the horror comic. The Strand Magazine was a monthly fiction publication, founded in London in 1891. It is best known as the magazine in which Sir Arthur Conan Doyle first published the exploits of his famous detective, Sherlock Holmes.
